Sažetak
The Sociologija sela - Rural Sociology quarteriy has been published for forty years without
interruption. This is the occasion for its role in the reflection of fundamental social
changes in Croatia's village and agriculture and in the rural sociology development to be
discussed and affirmed. Through this editorial and the 17 research papers by the authors
who have been making the magazine or have continuously collaborated in it, which were
published in Rural Sociology and which have had the greatest repercussion within the scientific
community, the overview work on the magazine's contribution to bibliographic
studies, and the bibliography of all the articles (1551) that were published in 158 numbers
of Rural Sociology - being the best proof of to what issues has the magazine paid attention,
who were its collaborators and what is its contribution, this anniversary issue is to
contribute to this cause.
In this overview article the three editors, two former and the present one - starting from the
fact that every magazine is the basic image, the crystallised achievements of a particular discipline
- give the summarized account of the basic changes and developmental phases the
Croatia's village and individual agriculture have been through during the last four decades
as well as the main tendencies in the rural sociology development and the magazine's role
in it, which can be reconstructed through the articles that were published in Rural Sociology.
First, in that period the village underwent and survived the decay of agrarian society (in the
1950s and 1960s), then it has established a new balance within its ever manyfolded and ever
stronger connections with the city (in the 1970s and 1980s), so that (at the end of 1980s and
in the beginning of the 19905) a new dynamics emerged in Croatia's village - modem family
agrarian smallholds appear, the new forms of enterpreneurship and the new ways of using
the rural areas, and even that (at the end of the 20th century) it suffered the war, which was
particulariy cruel towards the village and the rural population, after which it was exposed to
the difficulties of transition that strongly aggravates its renewal. Second, the Rural Sociology
has had crucial role in the constituting and the development of rural sociology in Croatian
and other federal units of former Yugoslavia.
